I think I probably need the head then because I've mostly used a wide angle for them. I use AutoPano but haven't tried any others so I can't offer a recommendation for which product is better.

For a shot like this where I used somewhat of a telephoto, I just used a regular tripod head and got it fairly level. I do have one of those fancy RSS attachments that allows you to level the camera and to rotate on the nodal point of the lens - this is really important if you use a wideangle and have near / far objects. I haven't used it as much as I thought I would, but I still intend to. I precess the raw files making sure that I convert with the same white balance, but I don't do any other adjustments until after I make the panaramic. I us Panaroma Factory - it does a pretty good job of combining photos and eliminating things like bowed horizons. PhotoShop CS3 also does a good job. It sounds like Autopano Pro might be a better choice from what I hear - I haven't tried it yet, but I might. Ron Hi Richard,

Do you process the images individually first, or just plug into the software straight from RAW? I have a problem with bowing of the horizon line however I just use a regular tripod head so maybe that is the issue.
